This is a great phono / SUT combination that has served me well for a few years now. It was a very substantial step up from the Trichord Dino I used previously.
The Phono 2 is a valve phono stage that uses 3 12AX7s (or equivalent). It's MM only but it can be modified to take internal step-up transformers. The current model (Phono 3) has some very minor difference which are inaudible; i've compared the 2 side by side. I also spoke to the chaps at World Audio when I was considering an upgrade and they confirmed that there was no advantage in moving to the 3! The included PSU 2 can also simultaneously power one of World Audio's preamps. These phono stages were available pre-built or as kits; mine was professionally built. The current model costs around £900; I'd like £300 including delivery within the UK. I will include 2 sets of valves - one set of 3 JAN Sylvania 6072As and a set of Russian valves that I currently use, they saw off everything else I tried!

I also have a Puresound T10 SUT. This is the earlier model that has adjustable loading via a dial on the back, which I found extremely useful. I'd like £200 including delivery. However if you would like to buy the phono stage and SUT together I'd be happy with £450 including delivery. I'd prefer to sell the set together.
